Nora Lockhart's life fits in a single red column: eighty-three thousand dollars of medical debt, a second mortgage on Wildflour Bakery, and a sister whose failing heart needs a transplant no insurer will cover. At four in the morning, hands in the dough, she can almost pretend she is simply good at one thing.
Then Sebastian Crowne walks in like weather. He has her numbers memorized, a company he forfeits if he isn't married by his thirty-fourth birthday, and a proposal: one year as his wife and every debt disappears. Nine clauses. Separate bedrooms. No private touch. No feelings. A clean exit.
She signs. For Lily, she would sign anything.
What the contract doesn't cover is the kiss at the altar that runs five seconds long. Or the lonely chess player at her counter who knows the groom better than she does. Or a cousin hunting for the seam that proves the marriage is paper, while Sebastian's hand at her back stops feeling like performance.
Nora has spent fifteen years keeping promises alone. Sebastian built himself out of walls. Neither planned to want the other. And the one clause they swore never to break is all that stands between them.
